requests = [conn.request_spot_instances(price=0.0034, image_id='ami-6989a659', count=1,type='one-time', instance_type='m1.micro')]
I used the following code. But it is not working.

Use the following code to create instance from python command line.
import boto.ec2
conn = boto.ec2.connect_to_region(
"us-west-2",
aws_access_key_id="<aws access key>",
aws_secret_access_key="<aws secret key>",
)
conn = boto.ec2.connect_to_region("us-west-2")
conn.run_instances(
"<ami-image-id>",
key_name="myKey",
instance_type="t2.micro",
security_groups=["your-security-group-here"],
)

To create an EC2 instance using Python on AWS, you need to have "aws_access_key_id_value" and "aws_secret_access_key_value". You can store such variables in config.properties and write your code in create-ec2-instance.py file
Create a config.properties and save the following code in it.
aws_access_key_id_value='YOUR-ACCESS-KEY-OF-THE-AWS-ACCOUNT'
aws_secret_access_key_value='YOUR-SECRETE-KEY-OF-THE-AWS-ACCOUNT'
region_name_value='region'
ImageId_value = 'ami-id'
MinCount_value = 1
MaxCount_value = 1
InstanceType_value = 't2.micro'
KeyName_value = 'name-of-ssh-key'
Create create-ec2-instance.py and save the following code in it.
import boto3
def getVarFromFile(filename):
import imp
f = open(filename)
global data
data = imp.load_source('data', '', f)
f.close()
getVarFromFile('config.properties')
ec2 = boto3.resource(
'ec2',
aws_access_key_id=data.aws_access_key_id_value,
aws_secret_access_key=data.aws_secret_access_key_value,
region_name=data.region_name_value
)
instance = ec2.create_instances(
ImageId = data.ImageId_value,
MinCount = data.MinCount_value,
MaxCount = data.MaxCount_value,
InstanceType = data.InstanceType_value,
KeyName = data.KeyName_value)
print (instance[0].id)
Use the following command to execute the python code.
python create-ec2-instance.py
